On 12th March, a summary meeting was held at
Dongfang Electric (Guangzhou) Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. to certify the successful
R&D of China-Made International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) cladding
shield module , which is the most complex and difficult in terms of its
structure and manufacture process among 220 pieces of full-size prototypes. The
ITER Implementation Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the
Guangdong Provincial Department of Science and Technology, and the
representatives of the Southwestern Institute of Physics of the Nuclear
Industry jointly witnessed the manufacture and testing process. This marks that
DEC has successfully completed its research and development task, overcame the
manufacturing difficulties of critical shielding and heat production equipment.Standing
in the forefront of the world in this field, DEC shows the world a new image of
China's nuclear power manufacturing.

The International
Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project, commonly known as
"artificial sun", is nuclear fusion energy with deuterium and thorium
as fuel, has the advantages of safe, clean, and unlimited resource supply. It
is one of the world's greatest and most far-reaching international scientific
research cooperation projects.
